The modern man, particularly the modern western man, worships the intellect. I used to be in this category so I know whereof I speak.
Pure mathematics, the highest intellectual activity known to man, is falling to AI. It is a deeply humbling moment.
At this point, I would assume that most "intellectual jobs" are at risk. That includes much of software.
What will people do? Living in a village (I just came from Lalita Sahasranama pooja for Navaratri), I am not worried about "What will humans do" question.
Humans have infinitely many things to do and I categorise those human activities as nature, nurture, culture and scripture: restoring soil and water, raising children and caring for elders, making music, sustaining festivals, sports and entertainment, studying and practising spiritual traditions.
Those activities can pay well in the sense of being able to afford the goods and services produced with near zero human labor. The task of the political economy is to ensure this income distributional outcome and I reject UBI as an unimaginative and dystopian vision of the intellect-worshipping modern man. The UBI future implicitly assumes monopolization of the means of production and sovereign states already have the power to disallow monopolies.
Hindu philosophy, in all its depth and grandeur, never worshipped the pure intellect. Finally I understand why.

Brahmin Manuscripts journey across globe.
A. Collection of manuscripts is India's gift to the world.
The first great collection of manuscript was done by Barmecide, a member of a noble Persian family of Baghdad. Taken over to Arabs and then taken over to Spain.
In January 1998, Tom and Eileen Lonergan surfaced from a dive on Australia's Great Barrier Reef and found their boat had left without them.
Incredibly, no one realized the couple was missing for two full days, until staff found their bag, wallet, and passports still sitting on the boat.
When the alarm was finally raised, planes, helicopters, and boats searched the ocean. They found nothing.
Pieces of their diving equipment later washed ashore. Their bodies were never recovered.
Months later, a fisherman found a small slate, the kind divers use to write underwater. On it, the couple had written that their boat had abandoned them.
The message was dated January 26, a sign they had survived their first night at sea. Their plea ended: "Please help us… rescue us before we die. Help!!!"
Their story later inspired the movie "Open Water."
To all my followers - if you can’t do anything for these 10 days. Do just this with utmost faith. Highly powerful set of shlokas. Chant these and wholeheartedly pray for the good of everyone. Happy Navaratri 🙏 OM SRIMATRE NAMAHA

O Goddess, the most auspicious among all that is auspicious, fulfiller of all purposes, and refuge of all beings, O three-eyed Gauri, O Narayani, I bow to you.
Lot of astrologers predicting downfall of EM because of his comments against India and Ambani.
It’s the other way around, it’s only because of the upcoming challenges that he has lost control over vak.
Destiny is fixed. We can make minor changes and we have some free will to direct destiny into certain selected avenues, but it’s a short leash.
EM’s period of change/Dasa shift is coming. It just might be because of the current drama .. if it wasn’t this.. it would have been someone else.
Sometimes.. due to karma, people who deliver results of destiny to us are chosen.
So .. the next time someone harasses you, remember that it was a contract between you two.. and don’t hold back when you have to respond to it.. that’s also in the contract.
The greatest secret of Jyotisha is that if we don’t try to force fit or force change directions, what’s meant to happen will happen smoothly. Why smoothly? Because it’s already destiny, we come with the mentality and resources and ability to deal with it.
The most challenging periods of my life, I don’t remember ‘suffering’ when I was IN it… it’s only when I am out of it.. years later.. I look back and wonder.. how on earth did I navigate those times?!
The answer is surrender. And acceptance. And faith. And belief that you will only be given problems for which you already know the answers. Facing those problems is the reason you were born. And what you had prepared for..
For me, my Ishta Devata is Devi.. it could be something or someone else for others. For some, it’s rationality and for others it’s love.
Anyways… it’s all a game. A play by Devi, I think.
Be yourself. Live in the NOW. It’s as simple as that. And it’s as difficult as that.
Shree Matre Namah. Shubh Navaratri 🙏
You should never let anyone give you reason to fear regarding your very own birth chart.
NEVER FEAR YOUR OWN CHART!
Don’t take advice from anyone who would look at your chart, identify difficulties &NOT offer honest, sensible &practical advice about how to deal with those challenges effectively.
If you walk away from them more stressed &worried than before they opened their mouth, that’s a huge red flag. 🚩
8th house = other people’s money/resources and inheritances
What’s happening when you win the lottery? You’re collecting other people’s money!
8th house is also:
jealousy, lies, secrecy, obsession, corruption, scandals, control issues, cheating, manipulation and DEATH
My father is wisdom and my mother is voidness.
My country is the country of Dharma.
I am of no caste and no creed.
I am sustained by perplexity; and I am here to destroy lust, anger and sloth.
